Whitetail Hunting

An all new guide to hunting white-tailed deer

by Michael Furtman and Shawn Perich

North America's #1 big-game animal is the whitetail. Still, some hunters are not as successful in their quest as they'd like to be. Some of them set up their treestands in the wrong places, others simply move too fast and make too much noise when still-hunting or tracking. Whitetail Hunting is written to help put the odds in the hunter's favor every time he or she steps into the deer woods.

In the section Understanding Whitetails, readers learn what habitats deer prefer, how they react to weather changes, where they feed, how they use their senses, and how they communicate with each other.

Preparing for the Hunt explains what equipment and clothing hunters should buy regardless of whether they hunt with firearm or bow & arrow. Chapters in this section also discuss tips for scouting and locating whitetail hotspots before opening day. The latest information on Chronic Wasting Disease and other deer-specific ailments are discussed.

Hunting Techniques shows readers how the experts stand-hunt, still-hunt, stalk or drive deer in different situations and habitats. Readers also learn when to rattle, how to place deer attractor scents, and where to find trophy bucks. Trailing wounded deer and field-dressing tips are also provided.

Regional Differences explores the unique hunting strategies needed for specific terrains and weather conditions in the various major geographic regions of the US and Canada.

I wrote this book with my good friend Shawn Perich (visit his site at www.shawnperich.com. Shawn is an excellent deer hunter, and his in the field knowledge combined with my expertise in whitetail ecology, provides a unique opportunity for hunters to learn not only the skills needed to be a successful whitetail hunter, but the biology necessary to put one in the habitats most likely to be frequented by this wonderful animal. The book is lavishly illustrated.
